The Art of Altering

Hello : )

I've really got into altering this past year or so.Which reminds me, I never did share the table I altered for Ade's birthday last summer.I quite often pick up bits and pieces when I'm out and about. Things that I want to revamp.I have a whole basket full in my studio.

One item I picked up last year was this mini set of drawers.

It stands just 7inches/17cm tall and I knew I could do something with it one day.So when the next challenge came up at LESSology called 'chest of drawers' I knew the time had come to tart up this little baby!!Et voila!

Hollie and I covered it in old book pages pages, mod podge followed by gesso.I inked the egdes in a reddy pink and brushed the ink over slightly in places to soften and give it a soft girlie touch.

I then finished it off with this Studio Calico wooden heart.

It's now sitting on my desk looking very pretty.
